Hardest decision ever... Which to get first Allure Homme Edition Blanche or Platinum Egoiste?

18 year old male. Love both scents. I can see myself wearing EB and it would suit me but PE just smells so freaking good after it dries down. So I'm about to get another Chanel fragrance, I have Bleu de Chanel (amazing stuff!!!) and I have EB or PE in mind. I notice that PE lasts much longer on my skin, after 7 hours from testing I could still smell it! But EB smells pleasant to me as well (drawback is that the scent started to fade away after 4 hours).

I can always get either one next month but right now is the issue between EB and PE. I'm about to reach a party next week and I want to smell extra fly for the ladies (also without longevity being an issue). Both smell ALLURING. Don't tell me to get an atomizer because I just purchased one recently for Bleu since it doesn't stick long and I use it aprťs gym.

Considering your age and what others your age would probably like best between those two, I'd go with the Platinum Egoiste. But go easy with it....it can be overpowering and cloying if you use too much. If you want it to last forever, spray a bit on your shirt.

Platinum Egoiste +x

Platinum Egoiste is a better smelling frag than 95% of the designer stuff out there. Huge compliment getter and a versatility king. Being a masculine Samsara, it had to be a winner though. Highly underated on BN, as most of the best frags are.

Definitely PE for me. Edition Blanche is just way too creamy for my tastes. For lemon from Chanel, I like Allure Homme Sport Cologne much more than EB (much fresher and cleaner with less of the sickly cream/milky note).
But from your two choices, I like PE. (super fresh, glistening, metallic smell that's awesome. I tend to like floral musks anyway, & this one is great).

My vote goes to PE! Blanche is "bleh" quality to me.

Platinum Egoiste it is. I changed my mind about Edition Blanche. I'll get that next time. I'm concerned about longevity so PE it is. I don't care if it is a scent for a grown man (I'm 18 but I don't really care because I love the dry down it smells lovely), I will wear it if I want to!

Edition Blanche... Mmm Next time you're in my collection! PE it is for me! I hope I don't regret this decision for a while...

On another note I was fortunate to find another 3.4 oz bottle of Edition ______! I was a foon for parting with my first bottle of it. Stock is dwindling everywhere! I really think prices will skyrocket in the near future...think about it, Chanel has never discontinued any of their current releases, this one also had a huge following! Just look at the review section.

With respect, one should never, ever trust the review section. As with any product from fridges, cars, electronic goods etc, viral marketing is rife. Extremely naive to think otherwise. Very easy and cheap to promote products online with shills. Not Basenotes fault, of course.

Having said that, Allure is nice enough but certainly not one of Chanels best imo.

It's not being discontinued it's just being pulled from stores and will only be sold on their website and Chanel boutiques.
